Hi Rowley,

Well this is a hard question tbh. I decided myself without consultation that the easyband was for me. Then i went to Dr Ashton and he asked had i considered the Bypass.

I said no and that i wanted just the band.

The bypass and sleeve are more drastic surgery due to there being more "possible" complications. Mine was a simple operation with fast recovery.

What this boils down to is you. If you are a grazer, ie you eat pretty much most of the day with a sweet tooth then you will probebly cheat the band unless you work at changing your lifestyle and go into it 100%.

I am 3lbs short of loosing 4stone since May2009.Its not easy but as i am getting more restriction with the band its getting easier.

The difference is this. At my goal weight i can decide to reduce the restirction as i want depending on my eating progress. With the bypass or sleeve there is no option to choose as its permanent. It will boils down to your commitment to change.
